Someone, please convince me again that the security or crypto communities are interested in what it takes to actually help users.

@bascule@hypatiadotca@justintroutman Doesn't work. Users must understand invariants they can rely on & what failure looks like to plan. -
@Dymaxion@bascule@hypatiadotca IMO, the way we talk about security -- crypto, especially -- isn't aligned with users' actual goals. -
@justintroutman@bascule@hypatiadotca In most cases, we refuse to learn or even acknowledge that users ∗have∗ goals, so yes. -
@Dymaxion@justintroutman@bascule@hypatiadotca confs r accepting my talks on usable security so that's exciting (folks willing to listen) -
@ElissaBeth@Dymaxion@bascule@hypatiadotca Exciting indeed. I feel many still look at "usable" as an adjective, instead of the focus. -
@justintroutman@Dymaxion@bascule@hypatiadotca As enterprises start to secure their comms (if not also CCs) usability will be a priority. -
@ElissaBeth@bascule@hypatiadotca@justintroutman S/MIME is great for them, horrible for us. Only trickles down so far.

@bascule@hypatiadotca@Dymaxion I like the analogy, but consider that perhaps cryptography cannot be like air. -
@justintroutman@hypatiadotca@Dymaxion you realize my vaporware is called "cryptosphere" right? ;)

@bascule@hypatiadotca@Dymaxion This user engagement falls on the product and/or service, I feel -- not the crypto. -
@justintroutman@bascule@hypatiadotca There are places where we need to understand system structure/design before looking at crypto. -
@Dymaxion@justintroutman@bascule@hypatiadotca Users of crypto,as in developers trying to pick right crypto for their design,or end user? -
@rjsalts@Dymaxion@bascule@hypatiadotca Right. There's UX for developers, and it's a lot different than UX for consumers.

@bascule@hypatiadotca@Dymaxion Crypto shouldn't be expected to directly engage users. Users shouldn't be expected to understand crypto.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
